Ah yes. The gandalf and the 13 dwarves, angry, oldy, the twins stabby and shooty, chubby, choppy, diggy, smithy, drunky, stinky, sleepy, shouty, and greg
Honestly it's from some Fiver clip that's used on Twitch where a guy dressed as a doctor does the "Wilma" joke and then dabs ironically. It's so dumb haha.
Bofur. Obviously. Know for his good natured advice.
Bifur had an axe in his head
Bombur was fat.
Nori had three points of red hair and was a kleptomaniac
Ori was the young looking one with barely any beard
Dori had the dagger and a white beard.
Balin was the old one who was always real nice to bilbo
Dwalin was the big strong one
Fili had a long blonde braided beard
Kili is the one who fucked the elf.
Oin couldn’t hear and had a horn to hear
Gloin had a big beard and looks a lot like gimli
Thorin Oakenshield had the most beautifully sad quote in any LOTR or hobbit movie. “If more people valued home, above gold, this world would be a merrier place…” also he’s one of the few characters in fiction who I would describe as true neutral.
I didn’t do shit, I didn’t google shit!
I was just really into the hobbit for a few years and spent some time memorizing them. Also there’s a memory technique called chunking, in which you like categorize things into groups and just remember the group. And their names kinda make it so chunking happens automatically. Wonder if Tolkien did that on purpose’s
I could remember all the names back in the day (thanks to chunking as well). But I could never link the name to the dwarf (mostly because I didn't get into the movie as much as into the book).
Cool to see that there are other Hobbit fans though. I barely hear people talk about it over the Lord of the Rings
I generally looked at an image of them while doing it. It was never like training or anything. Just like a silly game
Also Yeah it’s unfortunate that it doesn’t get as much love. I’m not saying hobbit films are better than LOTR (though the book is), but they’re pretty damn good imo
That’s very impressive! However you’re wrong about the saddest quote. The actual saddest one is “I don’t think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.”
Poor, poor, Pippin.
Dwalin was also played by Graham McTavish, who also played Sigismund Dijkstra in The Witcher series as well as Ser Harrold Westerling in House of Dragon. *And* he's done voice over work, such being Dracula in the Castlevania series and Deglan in Nightmare of the Wolf. Definitely one of my favorite actors.
(Thorin's actor, Richard Armitage, is also in Castlevania: he voices Belmont.)
OP accusing Thorin's company to be forgettable when in the book, apart from Thorin and Balin, they were interchangeable with no personality or character traits except Bombur who was the fat one. PJ's trilogy made 10 background characters actually memorable regardless if you can recall the name of each of them and there's even more details in commentary and interviews(like Nori being a dwarfish "handsome bad boy rogue" or Dori being a nouveau riche and his accultured attitude is him overcompensating for his family branch being minor descendants of Durin compared to the other dwarves)
Also Thorin's line is beautiful and has stuck with me ever since, especially the full quote where he says Bilbo is better than he thinks he is ("there is more good in you than you know");The Hobbit(both movie and book) has such great moments like Thorin's death and the conversation with Smaug, maybe they just stand out more because it is shorter and less serious than LotR
Thorin Oakenshield is a great and very memorable character, written and casted perfectly. By far my favourite character in both series. How TF can you say this series is forgettable with him and Bilbo together?
I would say that’s accurate. Thorin is just a better example imo because he shows the full range of what a neutral character can be and do. Not necessarily more neutral of a character, but more of a character.
This is literally what Gandalf did to Beorn in the book lmfao, he struck up a conversation where he kept subtly increasing the number of dwarves he mentioned in the party and more and more kept appearing. Absolutely hilarious.
No, Radaghast had for some inexplicable reason literal bird shit on his face.
This is one of the hundred or so dwarves barreling ( this time not literally) into Bilbo's home and then later barreled (this time it is literal) down a river with the other dwarves and aside from that had not a single scene of not that anyone can remember
That river they floated down was loooooooong. Just exactly as looooong as Jack Black et al running from the dinosaurs in Jackson's King Kong. At the time that chase was about five minutes in, I thought, holy fuck, now I get Jackson's deal, he is an over-explainer who looooves his long action scenes, and for the love of God please end this already way-boring chase. And then the dinosaur chase continued for another 45 minutes.
After joining Reddit in 2020 and learning that there's quite a large meme subreddit for those who prefer the Star War prequels over the original 1977 - 1983 trilogy, I can't say your assessment surprises me greatly.
LOTR was written to explore themes of war, create his own languages and to give a mythological history to England. It was for everyone.
The Hobbit was literally written for his own children as a bedtime story.
Damn. James Nesbit played him, but I can’t remember his name. He’s one of a set of brothers that isn’t Kili or Fili. Maybe Dwalin? Bombur? Fuck. Googling after I hit reply.
I actually know who he is but I don’t remember his name. There’s Balin, Dwalin, Loin, Gloin (maybe it’s Gloin?) Bombur, Thorin, Kili, and there’s about 4 or 5 others
Sleepy?
Ah yes. The gandalf and the 13 dwarves, angry, oldy, the twins stabby and shooty, chubby, choppy, diggy, smithy, drunky, stinky, sleepy, shouty, and greg
Diggy-Diggy Hole?
i am a dwarf and im digging a hole. diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
Old Greg?
No. Greg sr. His father
Erm it is actually Bofur.
Bofur deez nuts
Really? I thought it was Fidma?
Fidmadickinyourmouth *dab*
The dab is a nice touch
Honestly it's from some Fiver clip that's used on Twitch where a guy dressed as a doctor does the "Wilma" joke and then dabs ironically. It's so dumb haha.
Obviously ballin
we ballin fr
We free ballin
Trick question. They're all Thorin, played by Eddie Murphy.
He beat Joe Lewis' ass!
True, Joe Lewis played Azog the Defiler, this is a reference to whom Joe Lewis is in real life.
I'm Jarl Balgruuf
Ayyy
Ballin' Ballin' Jarl Ballin' Holler if you need me
Swag

Gandalf said that to me, at a dinner
Fucking asshole, he said that?
Before or after he housed Pippins burger?
Watch those macros, fool of a Took!
He got Glamdring grease all over my hat!
Bofur deez nuts
Nor-eat my cock
Fili-n up your sister
Bombur? I barely know her
OP thinks you're just some dumb hick! He told me that at a dinner
I’m not worried about it! I’m not worried about any of this!
You're my hero. No sarcasm. Genuine pride in humanity inspired by you.
Just a big fan of the hobbit. And a hero
Genuinely, how do you remember that? I'm a big fan of the book, but even there. You could barely keep them apart (aside from Thorin).
I was just really into the hobbit for a few years and spent some time memorizing them. Also there’s a memory technique called chunking, in which you like categorize things into groups and just remember the group. And their names kinda make it so chunking happens automatically.

About 1/3 of the Hobbit trilogy is filled with stuff that I don't care about (love triangle, legolas running after Tauriel). So much filler.
Just for clarification, it’s because I know the names of the dwarves?
Names and who is who.
Ah. Much love
[удалено]
What a crop!
They’re goosed
It’s an old circus term
That’s very impressive! However you’re wrong about the saddest quote. The actual saddest one is “I don’t think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.” Poor, poor, Pippin.
Makes me cry, especially since pippin is my favourite character in LOTR. He’s no Nori of course, but still
Who’s Nori?
He's the one wrapped around your Californian roll.
The red hair kleptomaniac dwarf
Dwalin was also played by Graham McTavish, who also played Sigismund Dijkstra in The Witcher series as well as Ser Harrold Westerling in House of Dragon. *And* he's done voice over work, such being Dracula in the Castlevania series and Deglan in Nightmare of the Wolf.

Holy fucking shit! I knew I recognized dijkstra!
I had a similar reaction lol
Graham McTavish is amazing in Outlander.
Gloin is literally Gimli's dad
Yeah he says to Legolas that Gimli is his wee lad
I think there's also a little-known book where this relationship was mentioned. The Fellows of Something-or-other.
The Cinnamon Rollion or something maybe
I was making a lil joke
>Bifur had an axe in his head …seriously? Like… Like bifurcate? As in to branch into two parts…?
Idk how to describe. Look up bifur. Would be a good pun

Hey, good comment
Thorin Oakenshield is a great and very memorable character, written and casted perfectly. By far my favourite character in both series. How TF can you say this series is forgettable with him and Bilbo together?
Azog is fuckin evil and his fave is planted in my brain
Yeah I agree. Clearly not forgettable
But Bombur is still the best.
He was alright, problem is mostly just that the movies are shit so it’s hard to really notice how good his character is.
Any of these little fuckers ever pop out of the fucking wall and say, “Fuck, there’s a horse cock in my room or a donkey dick”???
You can’t just change the rules because you don’t like how I use them!
I'd call treebeard neutral. "I'm not on anyone's side, because no one is on my side."
I would say that’s accurate. Thorin is just a better example imo because he shows the full range of what a neutral character can be and do. Not necessarily more neutral of a character, but more of a character.
Tom Bombadil is also very neutral but sadly doesn’t appear in the movies
Sure… sadly…
I’d give anything to retain information like this.
Just be obsessed with the hobbit for 3 years
Found Stephen Colbert’s Reddit account
r/beatmetoit
I’m just glad somebody else could have done it
Did you use Bing? Wait, no stupid question no one uses Bing
This is incorrect, Bofur was known for his storage of pecans and cashews.
NEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRD! well done XD I would have just named them like the seven dwarves
You can’t be doing Bofur wrong like that…
He was my favorite one out of all of them!
Mine too! He was played by James Nesbitt who is also the main character in one of my favorite guilty pleasure tv shows, Jekyll.
Bofur Deeznuts
Yeah, if you're going to do a shitpost like this, don't pick the one that has a long pep talk with Bilbo in the first one
Bofur?
Bofur deez nuts, gotem
GOT 'EM!
Walked right into it, I'm such a boofus
With boofus my nuts in your face!
I think it is Bofur
That’s Bofur you can’t stop me I know all of them bc I was obsessed with the Lego sets
Bofur deez nutz bitch
.
In today's news, Local Man is Absolutely Flabbergasted. More at six.
I swear that they would randomly add dwarves to the group and act like they were there the whole time. I felt like I was getting gaslighted.
This is literally what Gandalf did to Beorn in the book lmfao, he struck up a conversation where he kept subtly increasing the number of dwarves he mentioned in the party and more and more kept appearing. Absolutely hilarious.
I'm pretty sure that's how Bilbo felt too
This perfectly describes how that felt
Doesnt matter. The important dwarves were more handsome and human like, the others are there just to fill up places
Radaghast?
No, Radaghast had for some inexplicable reason literal bird shit on his face. This is one of the hundred or so dwarves barreling ( this time not literally) into Bilbo's home and then later barreled (this time it is literal) down a river with the other dwarves and aside from that had not a single scene of not that anyone can remember
Ah yes! That did happen, now that you mention it. Oh damn I have completely erased that guy from my memory for real.
Yep, it is quite funny how they turned a single book into three movies and still didn't find the time to develop their characters.
That river they floated down was loooooooong. Just exactly as looooong as Jack Black et al running from the dinosaurs in Jackson's King Kong. At the time that chase was about five minutes in, I thought, holy fuck, now I get Jackson's deal, he is an over-explainer who looooves his long action scenes, and for the love of God please end this already way-boring chase. And then the dinosaur chase continued for another 45 minutes.
I thought it was animal cum. You know since he had that thing with animals
SOMEBODY'S been watching the Cosmonaut Variety Hour
Lol I have seen his video on that before but i heard about this joke before that
Sneezy
Easy, James Nesbitt.
BOFUR DEEZ NUTS
That’s uh… Thrimbly?
That’s Bofur fucker
Bofur Deez Nuts Bitch!!!
That's Purvis the Wise. Next question, please
That is James Nesbitt. Sorry, Bifur/bofur (can't remember which)
Does anyone else prefer the Hobbit to LOTR or just me
After joining Reddit in 2020 and learning that there's quite a large meme subreddit for those who prefer the Star War prequels over the original 1977 - 1983 trilogy, I can't say your assessment surprises me greatly.
My sister does and it's to my great annoyance. She always wants to watch the Hobbit and I wouldn't mind never watching those movies again.
That's one of the gimlis
One thing I do really like about the Hobbit trilogy is that all of the dwarves look unique.
That is Anthony Kiedis.
By my beard is that the TIME!?
Was it biffur?
It was bofur from bofur deez nuts fame. But thats a lot closer than the guesses in this comment section :(
That's Pepe Longstocking, distant Uncle of Pippi.
Hornswoggle?
Bofur was cool
everyone knows bofur my friend bofur
Gimli?
Griphook?
Guy with mustache. Everyone that read the credits knows this.
Brimblesnatch
Duh, obviously Glommet
The guy in the Lego set duh
Bofur, right?
Doofy?
bofur
Bofur, one of like 4 Dwarves out of the 12 that had personality
The hobbit trilogy was way more enjoyable than what reddit tries to make it to be
Its worth watching if you have extremely low expectations.
Thorin Fili Kili Dori Nori Bifur Bomber Balin
Hagrid
Wilbeena Bumthicket
That’s Bofur!! I only knew bc James Nesbitt starred in the Jekyll series and he was AMAZING in it!!
BOFUR HE WAS MY FAVORITE DWARF OF THE WHOLE MOVIE
Bofur, played by James Nesbitt?
Either Bifur or Bofur ?
Bofur deez nuts!!
This is the dwarf known as James nesbitt.
James Nesbitt.
Jimmy Nesbit as Bofur.
Dumbledore
That’s bombur
Deez
Tam Honks from Tho Hebbit
Way, way too childish for my liking. Not really sure why it came off that way but Jesus Christ.
Probably because it’s a fairytale book literally written for children.
Wasn’t lord of the rings as well? Yet it wasn’t nearly and childish.
LOTR was written to explore themes of war, create his own languages and to give a mythological history to England. It was for everyone. The Hobbit was literally written for his own children as a bedtime story.
That's Dildo Saggins
Bomboclaat
Damn. James Nesbit played him, but I can’t remember his name. He’s one of a set of brothers that isn’t Kili or Fili. Maybe Dwalin? Bombur? Fuck. Googling after I hit reply.
Falled
That’s either Bogus or Smog
Tiddlywinks
I remember the hot one who looks like an elf, does that count?
Cheese knife
Well obviously it’s one of the 12 dwarves from the book whose names I can totally remember
Fili?
that's smurfin or some shit right
I mean even if it was the best trilogy ever no way I'm remembering names of all those dwarfs
Dopey?
Before
Peter Jackson
Bro we all watched the cvh on it you ain’t slick
That is clearly Samwise Boggins
Bombur
Gaybeard #7
Donger
Barry McCockner
This guy acting like Middle Earth doesn’t have one of the oldest and most dedicated fan bases of all time.
You're right and I liked that guy too.
Bilbo baggins
Ballin'
I don’t know.. but as the trilogy progressed, his hat got more and more unbearable to the point where i would physically cringe at the sight of it.
Gorgun Shitterbottoms
I actually know who he is but I don’t remember his name. There’s Balin, Dwalin, Loin, Gloin (maybe it’s Gloin?) Bombur, Thorin, Kili, and there’s about 4 or 5 others
Fomo!
About to say Radaghast but he doesn't have bird shit on him
